The Treat of the Trade

....that I haven't blogged in a few weeks. Where did June go BTW?? i looked around and its gone...well after today. Our computer is on the fritz...it works good one day and the next its shutting itself off by itself....those dang gateway trolls are at it again!!! Well as of the 29th we have a 7 month old with 2 teeth!!! He is eating alot more baby food and only about 4-5 bottles a day...i cant wait until the day comes and i don't have to make bottles anymore!!...I'm twisting a nipple to a half gallon of milk and saying ..."here you go son...have at it!!!".....i have so many pictures i want to put on here but afraid to add any more to the computer until we call gateway or get a spy sweeper back on there. o well. at least i have the company Internet...teehee!! it has been sooooo flippin hot this past few weeks on top of rainy humid days....its miserable!....we go on vacation the 16-19th and i can not be happier to get away for a few days....this will be our first ti...

We had a VERY fun and busy weekend...(last weekend anyway and I'm just now getting around to posting it)...My little sister and my cousin both have their birthdays this month so we had a huge cook-out. Above is Josh getting the peppers ready. Jessie and his other daughter Jillian (8yrs old) were with us for the weekend as well. This is Josh cooking up the burgers and dogs.....mmmm...my mouth is watering all over again!! Jennifer and Jason....celebrating their B I R T H D A Y !!! Jillian had never been to Texas so we went out to the Cadillac Ranch. Which if you have never heard of it before its a bunch of cars in the ground you can paint...basically...in a nut shell...very strange tourist attraction if you ask me Then we ended the weekend at the pool. This was Jaxons first time in a pool...and he LOVED it!! Can't wait to take him back. We had such a busy weekend last week and I am still tired!!

It rained, it poured and the old man snored Monday! It rained for almost 2 hours that evening. Of course in time to get off work and have to be out in the mess. It really just didn't rain.....it poured!!! The rain is very much needed and I loved it. You wouldn't have been able to tell the next day but yea it did. A few hours after the rain Josh went outside and took this picture of the sky. BEAUTIFUL!!! It kinda reminded me off old war pictures, and the way the sky is painted in those. Like Colonial type. (Am I making sense?) Any-who it was neat. Very pretty.

He is 6 months already!!! ( well actually Friday ) Where on earth does that time go? In all honesty I couldn't wait for him to be this age when he was a newborn so i guess in a way i rushed it....i was ready for him to do more than eat sleep eat sleep poop. Now he has more personality and i LOVE it!! I will cry in 6months from now...because he will be turning one! and i will be chasing after him with NO time to myself. If i think i get no time now....just wait. I have a feeling he will be all over the place!!....but its better than sleeping eating sleeping eating and pooping!

Jynx came home today. He has a cast over his pins. They ended up finding more wounds that needed stitches so he has 3 different sets of stitches on his leg and his paw is still really swollen. He is on 3 different pain meds as well. And we are still baffled as to what happened. Josh went to let him and the other dog out and came in for maybe 20 minutes...went back outside and Jynx was hurt. We have searched the backyard and garage but can not figure out what has happened. So who knows. Jynx isn't saying either! It was bad enough to have caused some small places to stitch and 6 pins worth. Its really sad. His little throat is dry from where they had the tube in his throat so he cant really whimper. And the other bad thing is, is we were going to take him to get groomed and now we have to wait 8 weeks! O well. I'm really glad that he is ok and it wasn't AS bad as it could have been and hes home now. Thank goodness for puppy insurance!!!!

I get to work at normal time...which surprises the hell out of me sometimes when i do that!! Josh calls me about an hour later with panic in his voice telling me something is wrong with Jynx (our 4 1/2 month old puppy) his leg was bleeding and maybe broken he needed to be rushed to the vet. So i leave work...take him to the vet only to find out that it was indeed broken. Poor guy. Not the puppy Josh...he looked like a little 3 year old that just let his balloon go and was watching the wind take it away. Any way.....they drugged up Jynx took x-rays and told us he will need surgery. 6 pins and 2 hours later they call only to say he wont be able to come home until Thursday!! :( The next two weeks should be fun.....i hate seeing animals in pain and even more so when they are my pets!

First the sky was beautiful Monday! It was supposed to rain but ended up not. This is Jaxon he actually fell asleep after the BBQ. He had been outside more then inside that day. My grandma set up a play pen/crib...that my dad used along with my 3 uncles when they were babies. Ribs Ribs and more Ribs!! Josh and Nathan manning the grill. See outside all day....and although he is in just his diaper here hes carrying his pajamas he wore the night before. He was really attached to those for some reason. And more importantly thank you to all in the service. A day later than Memorial Day...but never a day forgotten.
